The same is true for economic analyses such as cost-benefit analysis (CBA). For example, the Swedish WFD implementation requires i) quantification of cost and benefits of proposed measures and ii) stakeholder involvement. How can these two requirements be integrated in practice? And can such requirements facilitate implementation of projects with a potential net benefit? This paper presents a stepwise CBA procedure with participatory elements and applies it for evaluating nutrient management options for reducing eutrophication effects in the coastal area of Himmerfjarden SW of Stockholm, Sweden. The CBA indicates a positive net benefit for a combination of options involving increased nitrogen removal at a major sewage treatment plant, creation of new wetlands and connecting a proportion of private sewers to sewage treatment plants. The procedure also illustrates how the interdisciplinary development of a coupled ecological-economic simulation model can be used as a tool for facilitating the involvement of stakeholders in a CBA.","PeriodicalId":308822,"journal":{"name":"Water Sustainability eJournal","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129586462","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We focus on Lake Rotorua in the Bay of Plenty in New Zealand, where the regional council is concerned with the decline in the lake's water quality and has set a goal to restore the lake to its condition during the 1960s. Reaching this goal will require significant reductions in the amount of nutrients discharged into the lake, especially from non-point sources such as farm land. Managing water quality is made difficult by the presence of groundwater lags in the catchment: nutrients that leach from the soil arrive at the lake over multiple years. The mitigation schemes we consider are land retirement, requiring best practice, explicit nitrogen limits on landowners, a simple nutrient trading scheme, and two more complex trading schemes that account for groundwater lags. We demonstrate that best practice alone is not sufficient to meet the environmental target for Lake Rotorua. Under an export trading scheme, the distribution of mitigation across the catchment is more cost effective than its distribution under explicit limits on landowners or land retirement. However, the more complex trading schemes do not result in sufficient, or sufficiently certain, gains in cost effectiveness over the simple trading scheme to justify the increase in complexity involved in their implementation.","PeriodicalId":308822,"journal":{"name":"Water Sustainability eJournal","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125710654","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mosaic, a case currently awaiting oral argument before the Florida Supreme Court, and two related issues: 1) property interests in natural resources, specifically fish; and 2) the value of these interests. Part I of this paper provides a brief ecological, economic, and scientific discussion of Curd by focusing on the fish, chemicals, and environment. Part II begins by fishing for answers. First, does a private citizen have a property interest in natural resources, specifically fish? If so, what historical justifications have courts given to permit fisherman a recovery for smaller catches? The section describes historical caselaw regarding private citizen action for the recovery of wild animals, the views of prominent property rights theorists, and then moves on to statutory governmental causes of action. Next, the section describes the “special relationship” between fishermen and catch before suggesting that nuisance law can best tackle the problems posed by Curd. Part III of this paper investigates the valuation of natural resources. The section describes the two main tests utilized to value and remedy the destruction of natural resources in an attempt to determine whether valuation is mere speculation; or whether legitimate processes have been developed to accurately put a price on our natural surroundings. The second part of this section describes the processes that could be used to distribute a plaintiff’s recovery in Curd. Finally, part IV concludes that the Florida Supreme Court should allow the fisherman a case of action to protect their livelihood and the environment. By permitting fisherman to recover, the Court would take some of the burden of environmental protection off the government and instead utilize the threat of private party litigation as a deterrent.","PeriodicalId":308822,"journal":{"name":"Water Sustainability eJournal","volume":"254 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134232200","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, trends in precipitation at annual, seasonal and monthly time scales for the periods of 1975-2005 were examined for the Kahramanmaras which is mostly located in the Mediterranean region of Turkey. Non-parametric tests (such as Mann-Kendall), linear regression, coefficient of variation techniques were used to determine rainfall trends. The results showed that there is no negative or positive statistically significant trend in the study area, despite of slight precipitation decrease annually for the period of 1975-2005. Slight precipitation decreases (which are not statistically significant) for winter, spring and summer were determined. In contrast, slight precipitation increase was found for the season autumn.","PeriodicalId":308822,"journal":{"name":"Water Sustainability eJournal","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134449799","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
